διαλέγομαι. P Oxy X. 1349 (iv)A.D.) ἐπειδὴ ἐξῆλθα ἀπὸ σοῦ ἐχθὲς μὴ διαλεχθείς σοι περὶ τῆς κυθίδος (ἡ. ε. κυθρ. -- χυτρ.). VP Petr 1ΠΠ. 43 (3)!® (B.c. 240) ἔτι δὲ [οὐ]κ ἀγνοεῖς ὡς σοὶ διελέγην περὶ τοῦ ση[σ]άμου, ‘you know how I conversed with you about the sesame” (Edd.). BGU IV. 10804 (2 ili/a.D.) καθὼς οὖν 6 ἀδελφός σου ᾿Αμμωνᾶς διείλεκταί μοι περὶ ὑμῶν καὶ τῶν ὑμῶν πραγμάτων. P Flor II. 132% (A.D. 257) τοῖς κωμάρχαις τῆς Tavpetvou διελέχθην περὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ὀνηλάτου. These instances will suffice to show that διαλέγεσθαι has in the vernacular the use seen in Mk οὗ, Elsewhere in the NT, as Bp E. L. Hicks points out in Ολ᾽ 1. p. 45, “*it always is used of addressing, preaching, lecturing,” a use which he shows to be predominant in inscriptions.
